My father was fond of eating salt fish for breakfast, and I too like them after 9 o’clock, along with fresh sliced tomatoes. In rural Florida, it is traditional to serve this with grits.
Ingredients
- salt fish, flaked
- chicken eggs
- butter
- black pepper
- green onions, finely chopped
Method
Soak the fish in water overnight, changing the water a time or two. When you’re ready to cook, drain the fish, bone the meat, chop it, and mix it with the eggs in a bowl. Exact measures aren’t specified, but I like to have about ½ egg and ½ fish by volume. Stir in a little green onion, including part of the tops. Melt some butter in a frying pan. Scramble the egg-and-fish mixture until done. Ad
